    Will vary but around 4xsalary would be achievable.

    Yes, should be do able. Some lenders work on tiers with income though.

    For example, they might do 3 times up to £10k, 3.5 times £10k to £20k, 4 times £20k plus.

    it's a bit of a minefield, but a big depsit like that will help enormously
